With little room for big-money free agents thanks to their current salary cap concerns, the Minnesota Vikings might go looking for a diamond in the rough later this offseason.
The Vikings have backed themselves into a corner and have just around $1 million in current cap space. This should change with the possible release of high-earners who are underperforming during the next few weeks, such as cornerback Xavier Rhodes.
This will only ease Minnesota’s financial problems slightly though and draft picks will still need to be signed. That means the Vikings decision-makers will have to take a serious look at some bargains this year who could produce right away next season.
